In early October SDR was contacted by PUPS, the impound in Maple Grove, about a stray dog. A small terrier mix was found in someone's back yard, very thin, almost emaciated, weighing only 7 lbs.

SDR quickly found a foster family and tagged the dog, still unnamed, for rescue. Once in rescue he gained the name "Scruffy" and received all his vet care. With a clean bill of health, Scruffy caught the eye of an approved adopter, and now has an amazing new mom!
